A pic on Bounding Main's page would be nice
Something along the lines of the top one on your site... need to upload it to wikimedia commons, and release it to public domain, or give it a GNU share & share alike license, or some such. Good luck! __Just plain Bill 20:22, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Looks like someone kindly added a pic while I was at a trade show this week. Do I need to take further action? Thank you, JpBill for all of your careful and considerate tweaking. Dean Calin 02:44, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * It's possible that nits could be picked about the licensing of the pic. Maybe if you added something there along the lines of "I, the copyright holder, have no problem with its fair use here" or some such. I really like the composition of the one that's there now, the way the wheel and sleeves work together with the grouping of hands and faces. best, __Just plain Bill 23:21, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Looks like someone deleted the pic, most probably to cover the licensing liability thing. Darn, I liked that one. Why not pick one, have the photographer or whoever owns the rights to it (even better if you or the group owns it) assign some kind of GNU license to it, which is just a matter of your say-so when uploading the picture, done by checking the right line in the "licensing" box during that process. __Just plain Bill 15:29, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Going Overboard Cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Going Overboard Cover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.
